Ultimate Rhubarb Dessert & Maple Caramel Tofu

I cooked up another batch of my rhubarb stew, and also discovered the most delicious way to serve it!

Slices of banana, apple (adds a great crunchiness!), and strawberries, topped with maple caramel flavour dessert tofu. Perfect

Canapé Dessert – Apple & Strawberry-Cream Wafers

My latest idea for a dessert canapé!

- Slice of apple with melted chocolate and walnut, on a wafer spread with strawberry cream

 

Vegan Brown Rice Pudding

I really felt like some dessert the other night so I decided to throw together a single serving of rice pudding. Here’s what I came up with!

• brown rice
• homemade applesauce
• vanilla
• cinnamon
• soy milk
• topped with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and dried cranberries

- My first ever attempt at rice pudding, but it turned out great & it’s super easy!

Fresh Midnight Bread & Apple Butter <3

I tried baking bread again!

Actually, I kind of made a spur of the moment decision to bake bread late last night and it didn’t finish baking until midnight! So I waited until this morning to take photos (:

I switched up some of the ingredients again:

• 1/3 cup millet flour
• 1/3 cup barley flour
• 2 1/3 cups wheat flour
• 1 tbsp molasses
• 1 tbsp ground flax seed
• 1 1/8 cup warm water
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 1/2 tsp dry yeast

Went perfectly with my homemade cinnamon apple butter!

Apple Cinnamon Oat Cookies

For a snack, I made two quick little oat cookies out of pre-soaked steel-cut oats, apple sauce, cinnamon, vanilla, and ground flax seed.

- Just put them on a baking sheet (so no oil!) in a pan on the stove for about 15 mins (:

Chocolate & Apple Cinnamon Oat Cakes

…and for desert tonight, I threw together a couple chocolate and apple cinnamon oat cakes

The recipe is a work in progress, but it contains undetermined portions of: oats, vanilla, almond butter, powdered chia, and soy milk…plus optional banana, cinnamon, apple, or chocolate. I’ll get more precise than this when I perfect the recipe (:

Vegan Apple Crumble in 5 Mins!

If you liked the apple pie in 15 mins…how about apple crumble in 5 mins?  (:

This is so incredibly good, I can’t believe it’s not bad for you.

I sliced up an apple and heated it in the microwave until soft, then just mixed it up with a spoon – I use the yellow transparent variety because that’s what we grow on our tree back home and it gets particularly soft, but I think any apple that’s good for pie should work.

Then I mixed in some cinnamon, chai masala, and a tad of rice flour to thicken it up.

…And then I added on some granola & walnuts, plus a vegan pastry!  (if you don’t have granola, most breakfast cereals work great)

Eat it while it’s still hot

Apple & Nutmeg Oats!

I’ve recently made the switch from rolled/quick oats to steel cut oats, and I’m wondering what took me so long because these taste great and they’re really nutritious!

This morning’s oats were topped with some apples, walnuts, and nutmeg

Rather than the whole saucepan and stove thing, I opted to put a few cups of oats in the rice cooker and forget about them for an hour or so. They came out perfect! And so easy, too, because I had initially been hesitant about steel cut oats because of the long cooking time. But, it’s absolutely worth it – the taste and texture is surprisingly different from the oats I’m used to, and they’re really filling!
